The Previous Owner ran over something or what ever but somehow trashed the fuel pump and filter bracket. I beat the crap out of it till it looked somewhat straight again. pictures to follow.

More 260Z rebuild stuff
Pulled the 260Z tank, pulled the hoses and rubber blocks, scrubbed the hell out of it, descaled the rust, Metal ready and Marine clean'd it. Then POR15'd it. when it's dry, I'll take pictures.

260Z valvetrain timing
While you're at it, check the oil levels in the front carb versus the back carb. Just do a simple "Lift and drop" test.

Where should i start with my car?
You will get all the advice and help you could even need right here at CZCC. This site is loaded with every aspect of Z drivers from "Hey, I bought a rachet set and changed the spark plugs today" to " Well, 10 years ago I started this project and finally took her for a drive"....... I personally started working on cars about 22 years ago and caught the fever. My first Z car is still my daily driver and that was 6 years ago. I've done little things here and there and finally put her in the garage to do a basic rebuild that lasted about 4 months. I redid all the suspension, springs, struts, urethane bushings and a whole lotta paint. Then one year later, I did it again and did all the body work and painted it in the spring. Check out the 2 Cardomain links below and you'll see that my 74' 260Z is this winters project. I don't plan on spending any more than $4 to $5 grand in total but I can get away with that low of a budget because I DO ALL THE WORK MYSELF!!! I have almost every tool I need in my garage. So you can figure that the $10,000 in tools, used on 3 Z cars so far, with an average $4000 budget per Z works out to be over $7000 per rebuild. Take your time, do it right, learn as you go, keep the Z in the family. But don't plan on driving her any time real soon. Have fun with it, you'll make a lot of new friends along the way. Just keep us posted and use the "Search" button when-ever possible. Welcome to the club, Dave.

Need picture of rear bumper mount
This may be totally off subject but I wasn't sure where to post these. I was asked, after selling my NOS front bumper brackets, for the measurements. So I wrote the measurements down and figured I'd post them here on CZCC as well. Dave.

350Z to 240Z rim conversion...
If they are 5 lug, which I think they are, you have a few choices. You can either take the cheap route and get 4 to 5 lug adaptors, OR.... Swap your stub axles for ZX 5 lug stub axles and in the front they make a 5 lug assembly but I'd check with HybridZ.org for more info on the swap. Plenty of those guys have done it already. Dave.
